Dr. Avinash Walawalkar

My kid had these weird dizzy spells for months, and we saw a few doctors who couldn't figure it out. Honestly, we were starting to think it was all in his head. Dr. Avinash was different. He spent ages looking at the old scans, asked my son a ton of questions I hadn't even thought of, and ordered one specific test. Turned out it was a rare inner ear thing. He explained it to us with a diagram on his notepad. We finally have a treatment plan that's working.

I needed my tonsils out as an adult, which everyone said would be rough. I was pretty nervous about the recovery. The surgery itself was straightforward, and Dr. Avinash made sure I knew exactly what to expect. The worst part was probably the parking situation at Nanavati that morning! But the procedure went just as he said it would. Recovery wasn't a picnic, but it was manageable because he'd prepared me so well. No surprises.

The whole experience at Nanavati was less stressful than I'd feared. The front desk staff helped me sort out my insurance paperwork without making me feel like an idiot. The waiting area is calm, and even though I had to wait a bit past my appointment time, a nurse came out to apologize and offer water. It felt like the clinic actually ran smoothly, which isn't always the case. Dr. Avinash's team clearly has their act together.

Look, I'm not great with doctors. I get anxious. But Dr. Avinash has this really calm way about him. He didn't rush me. When I told him I was scared about the sinus scope, he talked me through each step before he did it and checked in the whole time. He actually listened to my rambling worries instead of just nodding. It sounds small, but it made a huge difference. I felt like a person, not just another case.
